A B&N Reader On The Iggy Chronicles, Volume One

RavenKR: Fun Story and Chet tells it as only Chet can.

Iggy has gone missing and it is up to Chet and Bernie to find him. You won’t believe where Iggy is found, and the suspense is awesome. I really enjoy these Chet and Bernie books. You will too, unless you are not a dog person. And even some non-dog people do enjoy these books.

Good morning all, including any hogs that might drop by. The pups got me up earlier than usual this morning, so I am taking it slow until time to go to the resale shop, Beacon House. Due to my garage sale I missed last week, so maybe there is a treasure waiting to be found. I really need some new(ish) blouses.

A friend who lent me some tables for the sale bought 5 knives when he came to get the tables! Slowly but slowly the inventory drops.

Funny, Howlers. If HOH were fluffy/fat she might take offense, but fortunately, that is not the case.

Bear mentioned Timmy and the well last night. About 4 years ago a friend of ours (casual, English Shepherd group friend) drowned in a well. She was home alone on their farm and was out with her 4 month old ES puppy, Sage. Sage fell into an old shallow well pit and Marcia took off her sweater and jumped in to save him. Her husband came home that evening and couldn’t find her. They called a search team but didn’t find them till the next morning. They both had died of hypothermia. It was so sad. It it is surprising how often we hear that phrase about Timmy and the well, and we always think of Marcia and Sage when we hear that. Barb said she would have jumped in to save me, too.

B and M–I read your story and it made me sad, but then it also occurred to me that if I have to go (and it looks like I do, eventually unless the laws of Nature change) I’d just as soon it be while saving one of my furry children (but I’d definitely like them to make it).
B and S–Your joy has made you petic (but I think you know it). what exactly does catnip do for you? Do you feel floaty? Excited? Content?
Everyone have a wonderful day.

May I call on you all for advice? Edgar and Conan are having a contest on the front porch and the smell is proving persistent. I tried sluicing off with white vinegar and with baking soda and water, but what I really need is a way for them to have their marking contest elsewhere. Does anyone have suggestions?

BSD, We hear that all the time “What is it Lassie, is Timmy in the well?” Surprising how often people say that, and to think it is from an old TV show. It’s just that now we notice it more.

Howlers, have a good vacation.

Sears guy just left. Second service call, and still the wrong handle. Good think we have the warranty. Did we tell you the handle on this $300 microwave is $114.99 + the service call! Is that crazy or what!

BSD–It works, but replaces the uh, dog smell with a vinegar smell.
B and M–thanks for the tip–I’ll try the sour apple stuff.
Wose–Still upside down, but one can always copy and rotate. Is there a reason we can’t see your face?

I may be a horrible husky, but I am a nice guy. I like to give T.C. a little poke, just to let her know I am there so I don’t surprise and scare her. If that doesn’t make me a friendly dude, I don’t know what does.
Mom just told me, once again, that I am a Good Boy. I think my full name is “Good Boy Zeus”.

Rose isn’t trying to avoid the camera. I happen to have some great photos of Rose and the Prof from Alaska and the meet’n greet with the Royal Mum and the Storyteller a year or so ago. Amend that to “had”…like Riö…a computer crash wiped them off the hard drive.

Home! That Damn Pixie who stole my sparkles is finally heading home after her conference. This means two things: no more fun for me, me, me, and my sparkles are no longer safe. I will be on high alert to protect my sparkles as soon as she touches down.

Tomorrow is a big day for us here at the kennel. It is the first day to sign up for the race! I am sure I will be chosen for lead.

Let’s see…it has been raining for the last few days and Ikette has been super destructive. {{{sigh}}} I don’t understand that I take him out often to go to the bathroom and he does but then 5 minutes later inside the house he will go to the bathroom again sometimes. Also 90% of the time he poops in the house. At 2 AM last night I was out with him and evidently didn’t see a mess from Sadie that I stepped and and tracked all over the carpet. I had already decided that I would have my carpets professionally cleaned but I was on my hands and knees this morning trying to do some clean up. House looks really bad. I don’t think I will foster a puppy again. Problem is that when you foster an older dog, it is usually for a long time due to issues and the fact that adult dogs aren’t as adoptable. I have spent over $100 just on food and toys for the puppy (which will go to the new owners).

Oh and my smart phone was stolen yesterday so I have once again lost everything: contacts and photos (goodbye Turkey). This time the salesperson set me up to backup photos and my address book but I will be trying to reconstruct things all afternoon. I know there is a lot of contacts I won’t be able to find again.

Barb and Maggie: yes I have the worst luck. Unfortunately I lose camera too. Years ago I had a film camera and had taken last photos of Mom & Dad with their first grandson. (Mom died months later) I then took a short visit in a nearby town and didn’t have the phone when I got home. I retraced all my steps. My camera even had an address label on it. It is very painful when I think of what I lost. I also can’t at the moment find my hard copy address book so I am really stuck. Oh well. If I get this one stolen, I am just going to get a phone that does calling and texting.

Chobbit, did your sister take lots of pictures in Turkey also? The pictures that I take with my iPhone go directly to my iPad and also to my Mac air. It would be very difficult to lose them all. You might want to think about that approach.

C Hobbit, Why don’t you carry your phone in a pocket, or a belted case that you wear around your waist, sort of like a fanny pack. If you always have the phone on your person, it will be harder to steal or lose.

Cop!….While we were out walking a cop pulled up beside us and my friend immediately thought of our new tags back home on her dresser…heh!heh!…I immediately thought of all the mis-deeds I have performed over the years, but realized I was okay because there is absolutely no proof I did them…chuffle!…So this Copper gets out of her car and walks over to us and says, “I had to stop and pet your Puggies.”….grunt!….She said she had two pugs too! A fawn and a black pug – Gladys and Dwight…chorkel!…Luckily, Beau behaved and did not bite Renea the Copper…heh!

Nana just discovered, that unbeknownst to her, her little GoPhone ran out of Prepaid minutes. One would think you could call and have the problem fixed in a jiffy, but no such luck.
Their “Systems Are Down. Grrrr.

Maskers!…Are you available to help track Rebecca’s flight home tonight?…snort!…She has been at the airport for hours and hours now. Her flight has been delayed 1 hr 15min…grump!…At this rate she will be up all night long. Oh wait! When she does start flying home she will be going backwards in time. So maybe it won’t be all night, but pretty late I betcha…grunt!

Thanks everyone.
MPM: no, my sister didn’t take many photos in Turkey, I was to share mine with her. When I got back home, I had looked on the internet about downloading photos from my Android phone to my MAC laptop and the information pretty much said that it couldn’t be done. Which is why I got an SD card for my phone and downloaded them onto that to take to the store to print out some of the photos. Today the salesperson says that I could have downloaded the photos from my phone onto my MAC laptop. The salespeople are helpful if you ask the right questions but if you don’t, it is not like that give you lessons about your phone. I did go to their website but didn’t find their videos very helpful.

He is right here beside me Rio. Listening away. He is a happy camper. He showed me many pictures of the back of a large lady wearing purple. (There were some bluegrass musicians way up in front of her.) I think he is a graduate of the Mollypop’s Mom School of Photography.

Maskers!…Um, well Yes! I knew you would be up to track her flight and successful connection in the weee hours of the morning…snort!…I on the other paw may or may not be available. I have some other stuff to do….snuffle!sneeeze!

Alaska!…Airlines. I do love how Alaska AirLines flies people all the way from Florida back North to Alaska!…heh!heh!…Imagine their ticket counter in Florida – pretty slow I until some conference guys show up and need a ride home…heh!heh!…Maybe that was the hang-up. They had to call all the staff in for Rebecca’s flight. Everyone was at Disney World…grunt!

Upstairs!….Maskers I have to go upstairs to check something in my cool soft bed…sniff!…You have the controls at RioMas Tracking as of now…grunt!…Make sure Rebecca gets home safely, you hear!…gurgle!…I will check-in tomorrow morning…whuffle!…Everyone say a prayer that our gal makes the connecting flight….snort! ..Tomorrow is sign-up day for Iditarod 2015!!! Rebecca needs to be there with AJ….gasp!

Goodnight!… All! Except for Maskers….heh!…Jazz-Katu Up all Night! Up all Night!…wheeze!

I’ve been trying to have a good last night with Ikette. I’ve been playing with him, Sadie has been playing with him, I’ve taken him out every 40 minutes. Newspapers are scattered across the living room and he managed to pee on the small uncovered triangle. He has grown so much in 2.5 weeks he can get things off end tables. I hope his next home has a family to keep him occupied and watched over.

CHobbiti: that one small triangle…it would be funny but it’s not.
You must be absolutely exhausted having to watch his every move.
Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.
Maybe it is a good thing he is acting out. Otherwise you and Sadie would miss him too much.

Masquers: I will still be sad to turn him over as I know he will cry since he will be kenneled until the adoption goes through. When I picked him up, he was heartbroken to be put in a kennel and the little pup fought it. I think he had been in a kennel a couple of days before I picked up him–pretty much ignored. I know he was really hungry and thirsty when I got him home. It really shocked me. I might be giving him too much to eat but he is hungry and growing fast. I feed him small portions a few times a day.

RioMas: We have intel that says the connecting flight in Seattle was held for 22 passengers coming from Orlando. Was someone upgraded to first class? Yep! When she was waiting for her delayed flight in Orlando, she called the Giant and told him she may miss her connecting flight. She said she may not have slept, she may smell bad and look awful, but she will be there for the sign up.

The folks are not off to a show, but to a fun day. They were invited to a Strawberry Festival at a reservation in New York State. It is also the Chief’s birthday, and there is going to be a huge celebration for that – unbeknownst to the Chief. A few famous musicians, actors and celebrities will be there.
